Iridium plugs

[Guest]

can anyone tell me if i can set the gap on iridium plugs myself

I sent this email to NGK and they are not answering the question i asked

 

Hi can you confirm that if i ask a dealer for bike specific Iridium plugs

then the plug gap would be preset to the manufactures recommendations or do

i have to set the gap myself

the reason for asking is i have a Yamaha XJR1300 and orderded DPR8EIX-9

plugs which should have a gap of 0.9mm the ones i got have a lot bigger gap

than this

regards

Gary

 

and recieved this reply back

 

Dear Sir

Thank you for your enquiry.

The spark plug gap for your vehicle is pre-set to 0.9mm. This is the

correct setting for your motorcycle.

Kind Regards.

You can set the gap for whatever the bike requires.. These plugs are good and should not give you any problems...

I have to say everytime I fitted these plugs the gap was correct from the box...

Just had a reply from NGK

 

Dear Sir

The plugs should be gapped at 0.9mm, I cannot explain why the plugs you

purchased were not.

But you can adjust the gap to 0.9mm for the standard and the iridium type

plugs.
